Operation
Opto-I/O is electrically isolated from the other components of the system. This is an important safety
feature for preventing overloads.
The three 26-pin connectors are Ports A, B and C. Port A is the default port during normal operation and
does not need to be connected to any device if it is the only active port. Ports B and C can be activated as
accessories are added. Cables may be attached as needed.
To reset Port assignment to Port A, or to use Ports B or C, enter an ACL command in FmNT to activate
that port. ACL commands can be entered in Terminal Mode or added to the dispensing program.
CAUTION! This procedure should be performed only by Asymtek-trained personnel.
